"And I have been thinking about it for thousands of years... It seems that I am the only one among billions of people who can afford this 'price'."
Su Mingan felt himself being embraced by the warm white snow.
It was a cautious, trembling comfort, a warm touch under the palm of an elder.
"What is the 'price'?" He asked.
Li Mingyue moved his lips and whispered something.
Su Mingan seemed to have lost his strength and was unable to push the other person away. He seemed to have turned back into a child, unable to do anything except feel the warmth under his palm.
He has seen a lot of snow.
The snow in Yunshang City fell from the sky, and in His eyes the snow was like stars of hope.
Thirty-three weeks of snow, mixed with blood and alarms.
In the small town, in the snow, He lowered His head to share the bread, and the godfather followed behind him, their shadows were very long.
But He had never seen snow made of human beings themselves.
He turned his own thousand-year status, thousand-year abilities, thousand-year emotions, thousand-year soul... and even his reincarnations in tens of millions of years... into the "price" of making a wish, and used himself to... bear the curse of the overlapping shadows for him.
Using the detachment of the ideal country to shield others, just like leaving the clone to the shadow under the Nine Netherworld, Su Mingan once again created a clone and left this divine body to the shadow above the starry sky, allowing Su Mingan himself to be preserved.
As it happens, Su Mingan has already acquired the skill of "summoning light and shadow at the same time", which can be said in an easy-to-understand way -
The shadow is left as a overlapping shadow in the underworld a thousand years later.
Ming, leaving overlapping shadows above the starry sky, allowed the divine body to leave the civilized scope of the old world.
In this way, in the ideal country, Li Mingyue would be able to pay the price and change the target of the Duying Word Spirit from Su Mingan to Li Mingyue himself.
But it is still not enough to reach the status of Mingyue.
At this time, Su Mingan looked up.
The church was already packed with priests and clergy.
They had solemn expressions on their faces. They were obviously elegant clergymen, with thin bodies, but they looked as serious as a group of soldiers about to go to the battlefield.
They followed behind Li Mingyue, shouting -
"I am willing to follow you forward!"
"I wish to follow the Lord God forward——!"
It's snowing.
A ray of snowy light broke through the night.
They had followed Li Mingyue for decades, preparing for this day with him. The priests that Su Mingan had seen in the early years were all the "price" they had prepared for this day.
Points of white light flew from them. The white-haired old man, the young priest, the dignified and gentle nun... They looked at Su Mingan, bowed to him with a smile, and chanted the words of sacrifice.
Su Mingan hasn't spoken yet.
——He took on the responsibility of carrying new undead souls.
…
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
In the dark juvenile detention center, the boy was chained in a corner, his body covered with scars from beatings, humming a birthday song alone.
His voice was weak, and his whole body was in pain, but he was still thinking... He did not regret saving the girl in the classroom. He still believed that the darkness in the world could be cleared, and that the decay and dirt could be washed away.
He picked up the bloodstained rag and covered himself with it to keep warm.
His eyes passed over the rusty iron railings, and he seemed to see... when he was eight years old, he was opening his birthday presents under the old sycamore tree in the yard. His father, who had just rushed home from get off work, without changing his police uniform, lifted his little body high up and held him around in circles.
"Wensheng is eight years old this year!" Dad laughed, "One step closer to becoming a brave man!"
And he said dissatisfiedly: "Eight years old can also be a man!"
Dad laughed: "Yes! Wensheng must face everything in the world bravely. Wensheng will definitely be a very outstanding man in the future!"
At the dinner table, his mother, whose face was blurred, touched his head. His grandmother came over with a cane and whispered, "Wensheng..."
"Why!"
"What do you want to eat today?" asked grandma.
Su Wensheng thought for a moment and said loudly, "Tomato soup!"
"Okay, grandma will make it for you!" Grandma responded and walked towards the kitchen tremblingly. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Wen Sheng."
"Why!"
"What do you want to eat today?" asked grandma.
Su Wensheng smiled and repeated tirelessly: "I want to eat tomato soup."
"Okay, grandma will do...do...what for you?" Grandma was stunned.
"Tomato soup, Grandma."
"Hey, okay, okay..." Grandma frowned and suddenly pointed at Dad with her cane: "Wait, who are you? Why did you come to my house?"
"Grandma, that's my dad..." Su Wensheng taught repeatedly.
He had known for a long time that his grandmother had a disease that made her turn back into a child. But it didn't matter, he would teach her just as she had taught him.
As they ate, Dad talked about today's work and said that they had captured an alien species, whose name seemed to be... Chi? The alien species kept repeating, "I'm here to save you"... It was really crazy. After hearing what it said, several guards almost went crazy.
Su Wensheng asked his father to be careful and not get too close to the alien species.
Grandma brought a pot of plum wine, and once it was opened, the aroma was intoxicating. Su Wensheng looked at it curiously and almost passed out, causing his parents to laugh.
While blowing out the candles and making a wish, Su Wensheng slowly closed his eyes.
"What does Wensheng want to be in the future?" asked Dad.
Su Wensheng said without hesitation: "I want to be a guard to protect everyone like my father!"
“That’s very hard work.”
